United-Guardian, Inc. ("United") is a diversified company that conducts research, product development, manufacturing, and marketing of pharmaceuticals, cosmetic ingredients, health care products, medical devices, and proprietary industrial products. Since its founding in 1942, the company has been granted over 30 patents, and now has a catalog of over 100 products in various stages of development.

In the past, United has almost exclusively emphasized research and product development. Senior management has now committed itself to a major new campaign to increase the marketing of its extensive proprietary product portfolio.

Over the past few years, United has entered into marketing and supply agreements with some of the country's largest companies. The most recent examples of this is its marketing agreement with International Specialty Products ("ISP"), a subsidiary of the GAF Corporation. ISP is now marketing United's cosmetic products in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South and Central America, parts of Europe, and most of Asia, most notably China. It is expected that this new marketing relationship will significant increase United's sales over the coming years.
